Railway Building in 1896.

The Railway age furnishes some inter-
esting figures respecting railway building
III this country during the year that has
just closed. The number Of miles OF
track laid was 500. This must be re-
rarded az rather remarkable in view of
the fact that III the previous year, 1885,
only 1881 miles were laid. When the
year opened there was a very general
feeling of depression, and the outlook
was not at all promising for railway
building. Business improved, however,
as the year advanced, and when il finally
closed The record showed that in only two
other years, 1881 and 1882, had the number
OF miles of track laid been exceeded. In
1881 the number OF miles laid was 1896,
and in 1882 1865.
The greatest amount OF track was laid
in the North western States, but the
amount in those States did not greatly
exceed that in the Southwestern States.
The figures are as follows: In he New
England States 81 miles were laid, in the
Middle States 1893, in the Southern States
1,l02, in the fiddle Western States LIS
in the North western States 1858, in the
Southwestern $3.50, and in the Pacific
states 557. The number of distInc> lines
upon which track was laid was $50.
In the South the greatest amount OF
track was laid in Texas, the number o!
miles being 543. Florida follows next
with 32l. In North Carolina there were
laid l6S miles, and in Georgia 13S miles.
Kansas led all the States, the numb er Of
miles laid within her borders being 1,520.
The outlook for the laying OF large
amount Of track the present year is very
promising: There Is already Il great deal
of road bed prepared, and preparations for
beginning work on projected lines are
being puebed forward vigorously. If the
present confident feeling in business cir
Giles continues it is not improbable that
the number OF miles Of track that will be
laid this year will not only exceed that OF
last year, but even that OF 1882.
The amount of money spent in railway
building last year was away up into the
hundreds of millions. 1t Is estimated
that the cost of building railways last
year averaged about $40, 600 per mile.
Here, then, was $3.50, 100000 scattered
among the people. To this sum must be
AIDED the cost OF equipment, and the
amount expended for fuel. wages ETC..
for this increased mileage. Doubtless at
least 5000, 100000 was distributed in one
way and another in connection with this
500 miles OF new road.
or course labor is deeply interested in
every mile Of road that is built, because
the more miles of road the greater the de-
mand for labor. The estimate is that
every mile OF road requires five men TO
operate it. If this estimate is correct, the
track laid last year opened avenues OF
employment to 10000 men. When the
country is rot prosperous and railway
building decreases, as 1t did in 1888, it
can hardly be otherwise than that there
should be distress among the working
classes. Thousands are thrown out of
employment, and new ways of earning a
living do not at once present themselves.
